SIOUX Fails Argus: An effort has
been made by our morning coLtempor-
AIRY to shield J udge Palmer from the
wrath to come b saying that s'pony-a-
liner iatherlng u patent inside III the
bac6 WOODS was merely for the sake oil
vivid comparison with the great and
able paper OF which he was speaking.
That was what everyone CLAIMS, 1t was
far the sake of contrast, and that is what
otfends the hard working weeklies who
have enough to combat against without
che rldicule OF those who should be THEN
friends, We do not think the Judge
meant any reflection on these papers,
and probably used the expression mere
ly to illustrate the poiat he was trying
TO bring out. But tia is another mat
ter. No one except Judge Palmer can
tell what was intended. Every body ex-
ospt Judge Palmer and the Press on
tell what was actually done. The ques-
lion of motive, no one can 20 into. Ibe
question OF fact. all can easily compass.
Watertown Jonfnal Democrat: It was.
perhaps, o wise contrlvauce of Prov
dence, that the best land snonld be- dis
covered last, for were the east and west
to change places, the barren regiens OF
fNR aaat UhYra = slnpo AGAR, n, "a -
yield thoir abundance, wonid have re-.
named barren and unfaithfnl. And
again. Dakota has never had to endure
Inc irighttul hardships OF ths former
frontier existence. It has come into life
at the touch of modern civliizatIon.
The powers OF man have been Increased
q thousand fold, SO that III Dakota clties
come u2 as by magic, and the land
sobdued and made to yield its products
with Q 1.-THE OF the labor formerly requsr-
on eastern lands. In Dakota nature
Itself has prepared the land for the plow
and the applications of science have
made possible the best possible resuIts.
These are the reasons why in the new
west results are reached in half q decade
which formerly required a gem
GRAFTON TOR their accomplishment.
Desdwood Times. 1t is believed by
many that the election in November
next upon the subject OF division will
settle the question of admitting as a
whole or q divided territory. This we
very much doubt for 1T was On open
.emooratlc declaration that Dakota as a
whole or divided was too largely repub-
to be allowed. at least SO long ss
they could prevent 1t, to cast their vote
their dictation. At any rate a !
tull vote should be given upon the sub !
|eot OF division at the fall election, il for
no other reason than TO put the demo. |
party upon record again upon the
question, they have set up as an
excuse for not admitting, that o maiority |
favor admission as O whole which
is stoutly denied end in which
denial We coincide. In ell candor and |
honesty, it is vile, corrupt, and damnable
TO thus punish q multitude Of people,
because Of the sin Of having minds
politically at variance with others, and
it does seem Just o little singular that
prosperity should continue to perchI
upon the oppressors under such a state
Of affairs.
Washington Springs Tfae Republican,:
Now must the fall campaign reoeIve due
attention. Let MS have a thorough can-l
Vass on the prohibition issue; let earnest
work be done for division and admission:
and above all, let us honestly and inn
partially consider our own county /
matters.
Sioux Fall Press: The other day
Judge Palmer sent to The Press @ eom-
nunication in which he expressed his
surprise that The Press should have
given utterancs to a certain sentiment
and added that the matter would have
scarcely been worthy of notice had 1t

This chance expression given only. to
make a contrast seems to have given |
1mbrage to n or two papers. But it
g difficult to see why it should. The
des OF the judge was doubtless TO de-

slow to take to themselves any thing
